In this update:
Calling all Portage Bay and Roanoke Park neighbors! Our Portage Bay major construction updates webpage is now updated with more details about piledriving and drilled shaft installation around the project area.
On the webpage, you can:
- Find when and where crews will work.
- Learn the difference between impact and vibratory piledriving.
- Review the planned drilled shaft installation schedule.
 Remember, you can also view our most up-to-date piledriving schedule on our Construction Corner. We update this page weekly with the approximate dates and times neighbors can expect piledriving on the east and west ends of the project.
Please note that construction schedules can – and often do – change as work progresses. Bookmark the piledriving schedule page and check back regularly for the latest updates.
Questions or concerns about noise and vibration?
Our outreach team is available 24 hours a day at 206-319-4520. We’re happy to answer calls and encourage neighbors to reach out with questions or concerns about noise or vibration, particularly if either is unexpected, severe or occurring somewhere they haven’t noticed it before.
SR 520 nightly ramp closures continue next week. Closures start at 10 p.m. each night and ramps will reopen by 6 a.m. the next morning. The schedule may change as work progresses. Check our Construction Corner for the latest updates.
Westbound SR 520 off-ramps to northbound I-5 and East Roanoke Street closed Oct. 26-29

Westbound SR 520 traffic continuing past the Montlake Boulevard and Lake Washington Boulevard exits will detour to southbound I-5. A single lane of westbound SR 520 between Montlake Boulevard and I-5 will also close.
